We simulated Manchester United vs Reading for a score prediction and got a six-goal thriller

Manchester United will look to continue their impressive form in domestic cups on Saturday night when they host Championship side Reading.

United beat Everton 3-1 in the last round to set up the clash with Reading, with Antony and Marcus Rashford scoring either side of a Conor Coady own goal to secure the victory. Erik ten Hag's side enter the clash on the back of an emphatic 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, with United now within touching distance of the final.

Despite Reading being relegated from the Premier League back in 2013, this will be the two sides' third meeting in the last five years, with United beating the Royals in the FA Cup in 2017 and 2019. Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw are both set to miss the clash, but Jadon Sancho could make his return to first-team action for the first time since October.
